Though without 4WS and down on power compared to its JDM counterpart, the US Type SH Prelude had its own party trick: Active Torque Transfer…

While the first-generation Prelude was a glorified, albeit positively received, Accord, and the second-generation Prelude married a competent chassis with a gutless engine, the third-generation was the first Prelude to establish itself as a hardcore performance car which could punch seriously above its weight class.
